Drew Estates Egg
I went over to a friend of mine's house for a little friendly card game the other night. Of course when you visit someone else's home, it's polite to bring a gift. So I brought him a Magnum 40 malt liquor and a Drew Estates egg.
He decided to smoke the egg, and donate the beer to the homeless. Go figure. picture: http://people.ambrosiasw.com/~andrew...g-Images/2.jpg It was rather amusing to watch him smoke the thing; it looked like a cartoon cigar. It burned ok for the most part, but required a number of touch-ups, and he said the cigar was essentially flavorless. Very bland. He was going to put it out halfway through, but smoked it to the end for the camera. Check out more pictures than you ever wanted to see of someone smoking an Egg here: http://people.AmbrosiaSW.com/~andrew/egg/ |

Once you get past the first inch, that thing looks like a drumstick!

yep
I've smoked two of these believe it or not. It does indeed look like a chicken leg when it gets going. Or a dirty icecream cone...They are a bit bland i do say.

Why would you want to put this thing in your mouth and light it
And on top of being a hideous sight, the flavor profile is bland and tasteless

Pssssst!
Those really big cigars they give out at carnivals are novelties, too.
